Gavur Kalesi

A Hittite Empire-period rock relief monument in central Anatolia, Turkey, carved on a cliff face atop a natural hill. The relief depicts three deities: two large male figures wearing pointed horned hats (a sign of divinity) and shoes with curled-up toes, carrying swords in their belts, walking toward a less visible seated goddess. First excavated by Von der Osten and Schmidt in 1930, with major surveys by Stephen Lumsden (1993-1998) for Bilkent University, who identified the site as a Hittite sacred place. The reliefs, while of mainly archaeological interest, are considered inferior in carving to contemporary works.
